New engine

LaSource · 7. August 2018

Hi - Unfortunately the engine in the XBow blew up last week. Looks like a rod punched a hole in the bottom block.

So I will be looking for a new engine for the Xbow. The car was previously running about 350hp with additional upgrades. Therefore I am looking for solutions that give 360+ hp. 400+ would be nice but it needs to be reliable for track day use so not sure if that is possible.

What do you recommend as a starting point? I have been advised to go S3 CDL engine. Anyone tried a 5cyl TTRS engine?

Thanks.

Hall I've rebuilt to a 2.5 liter engine from TT RS3 is just great.

Cool - what power do you get?
Did you have to modify the rear frame to fit the engine? Same ECU/wiring loom or a new one?

Hello at the moment I drive with 430 hp the engine can do much more but my sequential gearbox can only 600 to 650 NM. We had to modify the tail slightly, is not visible.

we are on it, but it's really hard to find someone who are able to do the electronics!
